The reason they are constantly released in this state is because people are actually OK with the above scenario. With that record of service the company should have lost support years ago, like so many other developers who pull the same garbage year after year.

Gamers, sadly, make it quite clear that, yes, we will pay full price for an unfinished product and hope it actually gets fixed several months down the line.

What're the specs of your computer? I just rebuilt mine and I'm running it just fine on Extreme. A few hiccups here and there, but nothing major. A lot of the people I saw complaining on the TWCenter forums drastically overestimated their ability to run the game.

This.

And besides, if you've played any of these game at launch, you know to expect this kind of crap early on seeing as how this is CA's MO.
